    Hi,

    I am a Product Design student at the University of Huddersfield, and wondered if it would be possible to ask you to take 5 minutes to complete a survey about gardening and issues you may have found in the garden. This will form the research for my Final Year Major Project.

    Before you decide, it is important for you to understand why the research is being done and what it will involve. Please take time to read the following information carefully and discuss it with others or a university representative if you wish. Please ask if there is anything that is not clear or if you would like more information. Take time to decide whether or not you wish to take part.


    Thank you for reading this.

    The survey can be found here:

    https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/YDQFMGZ

    Thanks in advance,

    Sean Danks.

    Hi Sean,

    I've got a question, at what point do I become elderly enough to fill in the survey :old::biggrin:

    Hi,
    Sorry, I forgot to put that in! My guide age is 55+, however problems identified by people outside of this age range are perfectly valid, and will still add depth to my research, so there is no 'fixed' range, however the final product (and a couple of the questions) will be aimed at an older market.
    Thanks
    Sean :ccheers:

      On a serious note though, like I said, the age range is not an issue - more just a base for the final product. The problems are the bit i'm focusing on at the moment.

      And Thanks for the warm welcome! Will have to hang around once i'v finished the research!!
      :cool:

          Being too young for the demographic you're focussing on isn't really an issue. I'm 34 and have back issues brought on by a car accident. If that would assist, I'd be happy to share as it is covered by a couple of the questions
